| i went to whiterock yesterday |
[23 Apr 2007|12:44pm] |
and it was gorgeous, and sooo sunny.
it was a 45 minute-ish drive, and i went to my friends work at a greek place in the mall, while my mom was going with his father to pick up his aunt at the airport.
i didnt stick around his place for too long, but he kept offering me greek food, and it got really hot in there, so i left around the mall. tiny place (like white rock) and only 70 stores. i went to blackbonds, and got a book called 'the lovely bones' and its like 365 pages, but i got through the first 90 yesterday. it is so amazing..let me tell you that, i recommend it to everyone and anyone...i knew i'd love it right when i was reading the first couple lines, and i'm never like that with books. and i'd only heard about it once on fobr, and it isnt really hyped up or anything. definitely underrated is my guess (from what i know). check it out.
after i got the book, i read for an hour, and then i played in this kids spot, and sat on this car you put a dollar in, and sat beside garfield. i was much too big for it, but it was almost closing at the mall, and no kids were there. i had a dollar, but the maximum capacity was 90lbs :|
i saw a little girl on the mini merry go round, just running around it, and i offered her a dollar so she could actually ride on it, but she said it was okay and was just playing around. she was like 6 or something. i remember being a kid, and my mom never had a dollar or 2 to put on. only bills, and the change machines always seemed to be out of order. either that, or we never had time to go on. i shouldve left the dollar on top of the machine *sigh*
well me and my friend walked around white rock and random grocery stores i dunno why, and went to his house. his parents and my mother were there with their visitors. me and him went in his yard and played badminton for like 2 hours, and then the sun was setting outside, so we went bike riding (he has like 4 bikes)
we went down this huge hill, and it nearly took forever to get back up. we were out for an hour, and then there was an empty parking lot (HUGE) for a mall, and we rode around for a while. it was soooo free and huge. i loved it.
i didnt bring my camera, but this is white rock. you can literally see america from there. the border cross is like 10 minutes from white rock, and from the beach, you clearly see american land. actually, if there was no water, i bet it would take you only like 5 minutes to run to the other side. apparently people have tried swimming across, but they got caught.

i drew conor oberst, and it took me..a long time. like on and off, 4 hours. damn his pretty face for confusing the fuck out of me. completed, not off a specific picture, it looks odd. something is missing, and i wanna take drawing classes. i went to an old friends house, and i scored three million points in windows pinball (which is pathetic) (not cause i did bad, but cause i did good) (it took me an hour till i got it)
then i came home at like 11 and played crazy taxi with my little brother till 12am (way past his bed time)

| this is substitute for yesterday, since i did it all...till it was too late for computer |
[21 Apr 2007|12:40pm] |
me, my brother, and mother went to the mall, and then we went to rogers and rented some movies. i also bought 'little miss sunshine' *dies*. i hugged the copy...that bright yellow colour makes my heart skip a beat. i also bought 'roman holiday' cause nikki recommended it to me, and gregory peck was in it.
well movies we rented were forrest gump, and supersize me.
ironically while we were watching supersize me, my little brother was eating mcdonalds :|
well it was a great movie, bahah.
then i watched forrest gump alone till 1:15, and then half of little miss sunshine, and i was fuck tired, so i went to bed.

i'm listening to the mix you sent me in the fall, and its taking me right back to the moment i first listened to it in it's entirety. i was in a car with my mother, and it was raining really hard, and i was afraid we'd get in a car accident or something'd happen cause we were driving far on a blank highway. then we got lost, and i was listening to the good that wont come out, and i forgot we were lost, cause i'd never heard that song before, and i loved it.
listening to it now puts me right in the positition of sitting in the car, scared, but warm from the heater, and now actually beeing safe, and listening to those songs again...
i'll keep it forever. i promise you that. it's the best thing i have ever recieved from anyone, and i know now it's a bit late to tell you, but yeah

Every time I walk out of the house. Every time I walk into that school...That class room... Into a car...On an airplane...Go to the grocery store...I wait for something to happen. Anything really. Maybe while I'm in English class, a strange man with a gun will come in and shoot at everyone and everything possible, and I can be the surviving student, telling CNN, Larry King/Anderson Cooper about what I saw and how I felt the moment I heard the first gun shot. Maybe I'll be the hero, and I'll have...God, something to tell my children, to make me seem more interesting, when I grow up. Something for them to tell their friends, and think "Wow, your mother is so cool!".
Maybe something will happen right when the airplane I am in is landing. I know that's vague to say.. "..something", but you never really know... Someone could come up with a new bomb that explodes out of their...I don't know... Travel-sized hand sanitizer? I mean if it were strong enough, or something. Not only that though, I mean really.. It could be simple. It could have just crashed mid-air, over some Foreign land I do not know the name of.
I'd totally get on CNN with that. I could've been on that plane alone, and my family at home. They'd tell the world, CNN, Anderson Cooper/Larry King, and whoever wants to listen (I'd think with a story like this, the entire world) about what a great, and smart person I was. Anderson would be on the crash site I died at, and so with hundreds of other people, and he'd be telling Larry King about how unfortunate it was that I and hundreds of others lost our lives, and how I had such a great future ahead of me too. Me.
I think what I'm getting at is that I haven't really had much happen to me in my current life. I don't even have a goddam scar. I've never broken anything, or sprained anything, or gone to the hospital for something drastic, besides being born. I haven't experienced a life yet, and then compare me to the people who go to their schools and get bomb-threats, and shooters. Excitement, shock, rapid heart beats...Contemplating life. They actually know the meaning of life, and appreciate it. Compare me to the dead people who died on airplanes. Ones who have stories to tell their children, and CNN, and Anderson Cooper/Larry King... Except the dead people of course, but if they were alive, they'd definitely have a story to tell. But even the stories the media tells of the deceased are more interesting than my life. I don't now want to make it seem like I really want people to die, or get hurt by shooters in schools, but atleast it'd be more then the normal.
Now this is what happens when you live your life by the news, and other peoples tragedies. Colbert please!

Max, I hope you're feeling better today, up there in Heaven or wherever you are. I don't know what to say, but I'll miss you, and I just hope that you knew how important you were to all of us. Everybody loved you; I know they did. I love you and still can't believe you're gone. You were a real success. Just 2 weeks from graduation - you did so well for yourself. I'm so proud of you, and I'm sorry this had to happen to you.

Maxine,
I'm so very sorry. I will never forget you and your impact on my life. I pray that you are at peace now. I pray for your family. I am sorry that I wasn't able to keep up with you over the years. Much love and adoration.

Today I went to this strange place. I'd never been there before, and I met this lady I'd never met before, but I'd been assured she would make me feel comfortable. Her name, I think was Ciara, or Cher, or Suzie. She used words like "peaceful" and "wonderful". She led me down this hall, leaving my mother in the waiting room, and she took me to this other hall of rooms.
She forgot her keys to the proper room, so she went back to get them. She came back, and she unlocked the door, and we went in. It was warm, and painted a nice yellow. It wasn't a gross yellow, it was nice, and sort of orangish. There was 2 chairs, and one couch. She said I could sit wherever I'd feel most comfortable, which is odd cause I'd never sat there in my life, and no part of this comes near the word 'comfortable' or should, except for her asking me if I was comfortable, which I was not. She tried to understand me, but all I could do was look at the chalkboard behind her, scribbled the words "Jocelyn" or "Josie". J, same thing. It may've been done in white chalk, or it may've been yellow. There was a video camera behind her, but it wasnt on. At this point, I didn't even know if the warmth and sweat all over my body was from nervousness, no air conditioning, the fact the window was..non existent, or all of them... It was an hour long, and it was repetitive and awkward. All I could think was "Damn, I can't wait to get home and watch TV" or "Is that a water facet hanging off the wall, behind this woman?" and then "...why in the hell would it be a water facet?". So after awkwardness, and such, the strange lady who's name started with a 'C' told me stuff that made me cry, and stuff that made my mother upset, but she's strong so she didn't show it. We were on our way out, and thinking and talking, and all I wanted to do was get home and catch the last 5 minutes of my favourite tv show.
to be continued.
